Thank you for sharing. You put things in their proper perspective. My Granny always said we have to remember that we have to live after the event. You summed it up with the reminder that it is only a 5 hour event! Prayerfully most brides will keep that on their frontal lobe. Blessings.

Im planning my wedding now 7 months planning before actual wedding date i like your ideas your budget im on a budget things important to me im doing thanks fiance like ok not really into planning and thats great because no debates just me on our budget making plans

I live in the Chicago area also and I was wondering if you could let me know what venue you used? The pricing sounds excellent! Also, what was the designer of your bridesmaids dresses? They looked amazing!

This was a really good video. I think many brides get overwelm due to the pressure of family, friends, etc. At the end of the day, your wedding is a union before God and whatever makes YOU happy, then do just that. Its one day so dont go broke by trying to look glamorous in front of others. To be in debt with your new husband/wife after 5 hrs is totally not worth it!

I’m 5 minutes into the video and I have to just stop to tell you how helpful this video is! Omg so very useful I’m making my own bouquet too I didn’t know I could and that it actually can look like yours,wow. Thank you for this video!

Loved this video! Thank you so much for putting this together. These are some super helpful tips and I LOVE that you stayed on budget. I’m recently engaged and just starting to plan – we’re cashflowing the wedding and this was so helpful.

So, I’m not getting married for a while (we both graduate college next year and he had a lot of student debt), but I’m wondering about the broom thing she mentioned. Is that just a tradition I don’t know about or???

Note: I’m African American and he’s cajun, so we’re both trying to figure out what traditions to keep and to not keep, so I’m wondering if this is one of the ones we need to consider.
